Ranked #459 - Men's Down Jackets
January 31, 2012
This is a good warm jacket. And not too bulky for being down filled. Even the hood is down filled! The zippers feel good and tough and the "Pow Grips" in the cuffs are awesome. The zipper vents under the arms have no mesh lining to them, they're just wide open. Not sure how I feel about that. And the sizing is a little big. Most people could stand to step down a size and it should fit pretty nicely. The pockets though... You've got a left breast pocket on the outside and a left breast pocket on the inside and nothing at all on the right side. Makes no sense. Why not even it out? If you have something in both of those pockets then the front left of the jacket puffs out more than the right. Hardly a reason not to buy it but it just seemed silly to me. Overall it's a really good warm jacket that you could wear almost anywhere on any hill. It might be a few more bucks than it should be but name brands always are.
